Original application illeii Iarch 24, 1922, `Serial No. 546,272. Divided and this application led January 16. 1925. Serial No. 2,793.

This invention relates to subject-matter divided out of my co-pending application Serial No. 546,272 filed March 24,v 1922, and hasto do primarily with the securing of an aintimate disk-stressing assembly of the hub and disk.

According to lthe invention, the normal contours of the oppose'd faces of the disk through disk wheels, illustrating embodiments of the invention in the hub portions' thereof.

Having particular .reference to Fig. 1 of the drawing the pressed steel hub 11 having an integral rear radially projecting flange l 12 is assembled by means of the removable front ange or plate 13 and the bolts 14 with the single dished disk 15. It will be observed that the curvature of the central portion of the disk lyin adjacent the fiange -12 is slightly different rom that. of the flange at the point 16 with the result that as the hubanges andf disk are assembled Contact is first obtained at 17 near the periphery of the ange 12 whereby the tightening of the bolts 14 dserves to centrally stress the disk and to insure a firm bearing 'support at the point 17 for the disk.

In Fig. 2 of the drawing the cast or forged hub 27 is of similar construction being provided with the integral flange 28 and the removable iange or plate l'29 between which the central portion ofthe disk 30 is stress.

supporting member, the contour ofthe'ov'er- I5 lapping portions of the disk and supportingmember being diverse to the extent that when brought together the -disk will first contact 'the support non-uniformly and be slightly deformed under force ultimately o0 applied to effect and maintain a tight fit under stress.

2. In a wheel, the combination'of a ceni i i tral hub portion, and a disk body portion, the wheel provided at thehub with a radially projecting disk supporting member, the contourof the overlapping portions of the disk and supporting member being diverse 'to the extent that when forced together the disk will rst contact the peripheral portion of thesupport and be slightly deformed to eiect and maintain a tight fit under stress.

3. In avwheel, the combination of a central hub portion, and a disk body ortion, the diskbody at the hub clamped etweenls front and rear supportin members project-v ing radially from the hu proper into overlapping relation with the disk, the contour of the overlapping disk and supporting members being diverse to the extent that 60 when forced together the disk willy first contact with the peripheral portions of the supporting members and be slightly 'deformed to effect and maintain a tlght fit under .In testimony whereof I have here-unto subscribed my` name. GEORGE H. FORSYTH.
